However, if you take the lump sum they will tax the piss out of it. Always best to just move on to the new job and leave the old pension in place until you file for the monthly benefit. Thanks Jimmy figured Uncle Sam would have his hand out. Moving back to Iowa and starting with a new old company on the 31st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowa having mobile wagering is nice. Also a company vehicle that should save me 3 to 4 hundred a month in gas. 20-25k more a year with potential for more helped tip the scales too.

It does depend on the industry however(and the co's usual turnover). Are they matching your what the new company was giving you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually a little better and I don’t have to move but if I wanted to they are open to letting me choose were. Only problem I see here is burning a bridge i don’t really want to burn.

I assume the burning of the bridge comment refers to you backing out of your promise to take the new job, it's a tough market out there and these things happen, they wont like it but they wont hate you, it'll be quickly forgotten.
